[pct-l] Some help with my mother

Aloha Elizabeth/All~

I'm another addicted long distance hiker planning on adding the PCT to my limited list of long distance hikes (AT01 - broken leg - AT03 completion) next year.  I live in Fredericksburg, VA, work in DC (ugh) and own a cabin just outside of WV in the Shenandoah Valley area of VA.  If you're somewhere in the vicinity maybe we can get together and chat.  I'll be attending ALDHA in a couple of weeks and am so looking about it.  I'm sure it'll be well worth your time.  I know lots of the folks going so it can't be anything other.  Well, it can be also be an awesome learning experience too.  I'm already excited about the PCT seminar.     Think about it...... fun, fun, fun!

Aloha! Ann
